Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) as one of the Co-Organizer is pleased to invite you to join Wood and Biofiber International Conference 2017 (WOBIC2017)which is scheduled to take place at Hotel Bangi-Putrajaya, Malaysia from 21st - 23rd November 2017.

The sapwood is
clearly defined in trees with coloured heartwood. The heartwood produced by
some trees is coloured and is walnut grey-brown, while other trees produce
greyish or greenish yellow heartwood with irregular concentric dark brown to
nearly black bands.

Grain is straight or
interlocked and sometimes wavy.

Texture is moderately
coarse but even.

Vessels are medium-sized
to moderately large, very few or few, solitary and in radial groups of two or
three, the solitary vessels predominating. Tyloses are abundant.

Wood
parenchyma is vasicentric, very narrow, with only the very slightest tendency
to aliform. Wide bands of wood parenchyma are not uncommon, and apparently apotracheal.

Rays are
multiseriate, moderately fine to medium-sized, visible to the naked eye on all surfaces.

USES

The dark-coloured
heartwood is highly prized as a cabinet wood; also used for furniture, interior
finishing, panelling, sliced decorative veneer and plywood.

Found
on rich alluvial soils near rivers and often
forms almost pure stands on the banks of
the more sluggish streams in the east coast of Sabah.
It also occurs on good soils on damp well-drained
hillsides.

GENERAL
DISCRIPTION

The sapwood is
white with a greyish tinge and moderately well-defined from the heartwood,
which is buff to pale brown or sometimes pinkish brown.

Grain is interlocked.

Texture is moderately
coarse to coarse.

Vessels are medium to
moderately large in size, mostly solitary but radial multiples of up to three
occur, particularly in ring porous material; tendency to arrange in oblique
rows.

Wood
parenchyma consists of both paratracheal parenchyma, as narrow borders to vessels
and diffuse apotracheal parenchyma.

Vessels are with simple
perforations, medium-sized to moderately large, few or rarely moderately few,
mostly solitary with a few in radial groups of two to four; evenly scattered without
any clear arrangement. Yellow, white or yellow-brown deposits are common.

Wood
parenchyma is abundant and occurs as regularly and closely spaced concentric bands.
It is difficult to determine whether it is apotracheal or paratracheal.
